New Blog, New BuJo

Welcome back friends, I have a good ol' bullet journal post for you today.

I fell out of the journaling loop and I think that was because I put too much pressure on myself to make it look amazing like all the fab ones we see online.

Really bullet journalling is about the freedom of our own expression. Whether that be super creative or nice and simple, it's whatever works best for us as an individual.

I took a while finding the right layout when creating this time. Luckily, I took my time and now I have something that I will be happy to look at everyday. I will be using it more as a journal this time. Writing what I'm grateful for or how I feel that particular day.

I use a Moleskin squared journal for my diaries as I love the quality of pages and the size.

I'm not journalling anything monthly as I found that too much of a commitment to the month and anyway, I have my Erin Condren Life Planner for the day to day plans. 

My first page gets straight into my goals.

I set them into three parts for daily small goals, larger monthly goals and longer yearly goals that I want to achieve.

I think this makes goals less scary when they are put into different time periods.

Some things just can't be achieved in a month or a day. It would just be too overwhelming for me to make myself achieve too much in too little time.

I've also only given enough space for a few goals. If I want to add anything I shall write this in my journal throughout the year.

I then made a yearly habit tracker. This way I don't have to create one every month and I can see my progress altogether.

I've only set four habits as too many was unrealistic and I know that I take off my makeup daily, hydrate and have early nights.

I obviously started them from May so it meant I could fit all habits on one page which is so helpful.

I then have a page for my affirmations.

I want to say affirmations in the morning, or throughout the day, and before I go to bed when I reflect on the day.

I have been reading up on some different affirmations so I have a good idea on a few I want to include. Like my goals I don't want to have too many so I left space for a few different affirmations.

After this I have my moon phases and lunar calendar.

I have these so I can keep track of the moon's movements without having to keep googling dates. I only wrote brief descriptions of the moon's phases as I am going to continue to look into these as my spiritual journey grows.

I then have my blog ideas over two pages to give me plenty of space for ideas.

Finally, I have my log pages which should be the rest of the journal. I just want to write and enjoy the rest of the journal without any pressures of months certain pages. If I want to include any others I will do and that's the type of freedom I enjoy.

Well, a long first blog back ey! I hope you enjoyed and are looking forward to more from me.

George
